From the reviews
Sensei Cort is an amazing teacher, great with children, adults, and more seasoned adults. I started at when I was 50. Our family has been training with Sensei Cort for a while. Started with my wife's cousin, then my son, then me, my daughter, and finally my wife. This picture is from a tournament in May.
Sensei Cort is an excellent instructor! He works so well with so many different age groups. Sensei Cort is also very knowledgeable about a variety of weapons he can train someone to handle. For example, I wanted to know more about metal fighting fans and Sensei Cort helped me choreograph a beautiful kata.
I've attended a few classes as the guest of one of his students who is a friend of mine. The way he teaches is very friendly and patient, making sure each student understands proper form and the reason behind it.
Such an amazing teacher of martial arts. Patient, thorough and wise. I miss my daily lessons and the health benefits therein. I highly recommend this school for anybody who is interested in studying martial arts or who has kids who are interested.
Your first Karate class at Blain Cort's Total Self Defense
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
